MECK Pre-K Registration Is Open for 2026-2027 School Year 

Registration is open for the 2026-2027 school year at MECK Pre-K, the high-quality pre-K program for all 4-year-olds in Mecklenburg County, available at no cost to families. Families can secure their spot at MeckPreK.org today.

Since its launch in 2018, MECK Pre-K has helped thousands of children build strong foundations for their educational journey. Today, children from the program’s inaugural year are preparing for middle school and several families shared their experiences of "A Day in the Life" of their MECK Pre-K child:

Morning and Drop-Off: "My child absolutely looks forward to going to school every morning! They love getting to be with their friends and adore all their teachers."  

During the School Day: "She talks about funny things that happened throughout the day. Her favorite classroom activities are dramatic play and art."  

"He talks about what he learned at school. He loves center time."    

Growth and Milestones: "If there's something specific they are studying in class, she makes a point to connect what's happening in the classroom with what she sees while we're out running errands or going for a walk."

Family Perspectives: "He comes home talking about his friends and what they learned. My family agrees this was the best thing that could have happened in his life."

End of the Day: "My child loves to tell me about their crafts and lessons and class. They pride themselves on sharing their new milestones and it’s great to see their own confidence in themselves continue to grow. I also enjoy how the specific school makes it important for the children to connect with their roots."
